@brutamerica: Why is the Trump Administration getting rid of Direct File? The Direct File program is a free online platform developed by the IRS that allows taxpayers to file their federal returns directly.

Also pretty sure TurboTax and others lobby against this 😐

If it was truly a study, that should have been made clear with study results clearly presented. OR it’s just something that the pay for service industry has very strong lobbyists & some representatives will be paid in free filings. Those of us that could use the help SOL.

It should be the only option. Spending money so I can pay the government more money is WILD

We shouldn’t have to file taxes yearly. The IRS receives all our tax information from I’m our employer. We should just get a bill or a refund automatically sent to us each year. Streamline the process.

capitalists want everything in the private market. No free anything. They want toll booths everywhere. Sucks.

Like for so many things, the US is the ONLY country that puts the onus on its citizens to file. Our government is bought and paid for by lobbyists.

TurboTax lobbying is crazy. I shouldn’t have to pay so I can pay the government

Governments should make tax filing as easy as possible, not encourage industry to charge for tax services for the average standard filing, unless persons require services due to their complex tax situation. Otherwise tax filing has become its own tax

All of the tax filing companies lobbied against anything that helps. other countries handle the tax obligation and sends checks directly to the person without them even needing to file. It's possible to have good things, but Congress won't allow it because it fills their own pockets. tax filing institutions pay our representatives to ensure we don't have any other options and their services are otherwise known as filing services grifting.

tbh we shouldn't be forced to file any of these anyways - there's absolutely no need for individual income taxes. Should be shifted to just tax businesses - would simplify the whole thing and cost way less

This is several months late. They got rid of Direct File immediately. This is also sanitized and Right-leaning because it's an open secret that the tax return lobby put a lot into the last election to get it removed.

no. our tax money should go towards a program that can file for us for free. why do private companies get to charge us instead of our money working for us?
